Buggy vs Kinderwagen

stroller / pram

'Kinderwagen' and 'Buggy' can both be a vehicle in which you push a small child. 'Kinderwagen' is the more general term and is especially suitable for babies who are still lying down. A 'Buggy' is lighter, often foldable, and more for toddlers who can already sit up. The words can be confused because both are used in everyday life for getting around with small children. If you are talking generally about the carriage for a baby, 'Kinderwagen' is safe. If it is about a light, practical model for an older toddler, 'Buggy' fits better.
